If You Could Choose the Top Ten! (Boys Edition!)

[littlegoat12]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries!

So, hypothetical scenario: You get to pick the top ten names for boys in your country! I’m not sure what the details are or why and how you get to pick, so let’s just ignore those for now. It’s completely up to you. For the sake of the scenario, let’s say that every name below the top ten stays the same and the current top ten names switch places in the rankings with the new ones.

The names can be anything you want! Names you think are underappreciated, or you would like to see more of, or names you think would be funny to hear all the time. They could be your favorites, although I’m pretty sure that most people on Nameberry like more uncommon names, so you might want to keep your favorites rare. I don’t know. It’s all up to you!

I’m going to do the US top ten, just because that’s where I live. You can do whatever country you like!

Current US Top Ten:

1. [name_u]Liam[/name_u]
2. [name_u]Noah[/name_u]
3. [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]
4. [name_m]William[/name_m]
5. [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
6. [name_u]James[/name_u]
7. [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u]
8. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
9. [name_u]Mason[/name_u]
10. [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]

[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]'s US Top Ten:

1. Quillian
2. [name_u]Addison[/name_u]
3. [name_m]Seamus[/name_m]
4. [name_m]Eames[/name_m]
5. [name_m]Altan[/name_m]
6. [name_m]Alister[/name_m]
7. [name_m]Stellan[/name_m]
8. [name_u]Pilot[/name_u]
9. [name_m]Marshal[/name_m]
10. [name_m]Isidore[/name_m]

Here’s a link to the girl’s version.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you all like this and have fun!

Realistically, I would just remove the ones that I like and replace them with something else. That way I could use them! But here’s what I would do if I used my GPs:

1. [name_u]Forest[/name_u]
2. [name_m]Aurelian[/name_m]
3. [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]
4. [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]
5. [name_u]Constantine[/name_u]
6. [name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
7. [name_m]Valerian[/name_m]
8. [name_u]Collier[/name_u]
9. [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
10. [name_m]Leonid[/name_m]

[littlegoat12]

These are amazing! [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] has always been one of my favorites, and I could realistically see [name_u]Forest[/name_u] and [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] rising pretty high in the popularity charts.

8. [name_m]Leevi[/name_m]

They could be your favorites, although I’m pretty sure that most people on Nameberry like more uncommon names, so you might want to keep your favorites rare.

Exactly.

I am going to replace the Top 10 with names I won’t likely use myself, but wish I heard more often. These underrated gems would be so refreshing to hear, imo!

1. [name_m]Linus[/name_m]
2. [name_u]Winn[/name_u]/Wynn
3. [name_u]George[/name_u]
4. [name_m]Stellan[/name_m]

4. Finnian
5. Elio
6. Santiago
